Mel4fun Neutral Newbie April 6, 2003 Share April 6, 2003 Gurus, Please advice. If I replace the extractor (header), will I get better low-end grunt? Assuming that I'm keeping my rear box and my pipe is already 'breathing better' now Advice please. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super7 Turbocharged April 6, 2003 Share April 6, 2003 (edited) i had extractors in at least two of my present/previous cars..... mid range torque (3000rpm+- to 4500rpm) definitely improved alot..... low-end also not bad.... my experience is limited to 4-2-1 extractors, dun know about 4-1-1 one, heard the latter is meant for improvement in high end torque.........

King 1st Gear April 6, 2003 Share April 6, 2003 Dear all,what is a Extractor??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged April 6, 2003 Share April 6, 2003 (edited) it's the bundle of pipes which take exhaust gas from the engine and discharge it into the exhaust pipe...... the bundle is connected directly to the engine........ looks like a palm with only 4 fingers poking into the engine block (for 4-cyclender engine)..... (the 'fingers' has diameter of about 2 inches) .... in stock design, it's called the exhaust manifold, in tuned design for performance, it's called extractor coz it helps 'extract' the exhaust gas more efficiently and therefore improves the "breathing:- exhaling/breath-out", thus performance of the engine.....

Mel4fun Neutral Newbie April 6, 2003 Author Share April 6, 2003 S7, I'll be looking for 4-2-1 extractor, you know my ride is heavy like a elephant.....so need more low-end torque for city driving I was hoping that the extractor (aka header aka exhaust manifold ) would help to improve the low end drivability. So is it advisable to consider the extractor to free up more low-end grunt??? What is the characteristic before and after replacing the extractor on your previous two rides ?

Super7 Turbocharged April 6, 2003 Share April 6, 2003 (edited) say if i am doing 90kmh in fourth or fifth gear at about 2700rpm, before the mod, i had to down shift before accelerating to overtake another car, now:- i can stay in the same gear and simply 3 quarter floor the gas pedal to overtake coz at mid rpm of 2700, the available torque (previously not there, and was only avilable at higer rev say 3300rpm) is good enough for the overtaking move.......
